Chapter 51: Buying Saltpeter Mountain

Cui Zhi went up to the second floor in disbelief and went directly to the room like a dream. A figure appeared in the curtain.

Cui Zhi hurriedly asked, "Did Li Feng really see you?" ”

"Nope." The figure replied lightly.

"No, then why did Xiaocui say yes? You're not going to fool me, are you? Cui Zhi said unconvinced.

The figure's voice suddenly sank, and he said, "Are you questioning me?" ”

"Don't dare, it's just that you remember that we are in a cooperative relationship, and you can't hide anything from me." Choi Ji Dao.

The figure's voice became gentle again, and said, "I didn't hide it from you, Li Feng didn't see me, and he wasn't even curious about my appearance at all, but this person loves face very much."

Xiao Cui said this to save his face, by the way, when he was downstairs, did he say that he wanted to write me an autobiography? ”

"Yes, but he's talking nonsense. You don't have to pay attention to him. ”

"I want all the information about this person, you can find a way to help me collect it, as well as my identity and appearance, don't disclose it to anyone, it's good for you and me."

"Don't worry about this, I won't reveal it, I'll let Cui Bai bring you the news of Li Feng's person later."

In a few days, my Cui family will have a lawsuit with Li Feng in Dali Temple, and I need you to help me. Cui Zhidao.

"What's the busy?"

"I want him dead, but I can't do it."

"It's easy to kill him, but you have to send someone to collect it."

"No problem, I'll let my second brother collect the body. He is now a county magistrate, and it is much more convenient for his own people to do things. ”

"At this juncture, Li Feng is dead, aren't you afraid that everyone will talk about your Cui family?"

"So you need to do it safely, you can't implicate the Cui family, otherwise I can come by myself, and I don't need your help."

"I love a challenge, leave it to me."

"Then I'll hand over everything about Li Feng to you now."

……

Li Lizhen and Yan Shuyi got up early in the morning and went straight to their destination, Cui's house.

At this time, Cui Jinhua went to court, Cui Yu went to the county office, Cui Zhi never came back at all, only the housekeeper managed the operation of the entire Cui family.

When she came to Cui's house, Yan Shuyi directly explained her intentions, but the people didn't understand, so she went directly to ask the housekeeper.

The housekeeper learned that it was to buy saltpeter mountain, and immediately invited the two of them into the door.

"Two sons, I don't know what to call them?" The butler asked very kindly.

Li Li said: "My surname is Li, his surname is Yan, our purpose is to buy saltpeter mountain, we have inquired, the whole Chang'an is owned by your Cui family."

Your Cui family also wants to sell this saltpeter mountain, and now we want to buy it, you can give a reasonable price, make a random price, and we will turn around and leave. ”

Yan Shuyi said this to Li Li early in the morning, straight to the point, and gave two choices, to sell or not to sell. Sell, the price is fair, don't sell, the price is reported as you want, we don't do wrongs, just leave.

The housekeeper smiled: "Where is Gongzi Li, my Cui family has always been fair and just, how can they make a random offer." But I can't be the master of this matter, can I ask the two sons to wait for a while, and I will send someone to ask the eldest young master to come back? ”

Li Lizhen and Yan Shuyi glanced at each other, and both nodded their heads.

"Yes." Li Li asked.

The housekeeper said excitedly: "Come on, go and ask the eldest young master to come back, wait, if the eldest young master is not available, inform the eldest young master of the matter here, and ask the eldest young master to determine the price of saltpeter mountain." ”

"Yes."

After the servant left, the butler returned to the reception hall.

"Two sons, I have sent someone to inform the eldest young master, I believe he will be back soon."

"It's okay, we can wait." Li Lizhi said.

The housekeeper asked, "Gongzi Li, I'm curious about what Gongzi Li is for buying saltpeter mountain?" ”

"Give it away." Li Lizhi did not hide it.

"What to give." Yan Shuyi said on the side, "Obviously, you lost the bet, and you have to lose a mountain."

The other party thought it was the mountain in Wannian County, and you planned to buy saltpeter mountain to give away, which was a bit excessive. ”

"Cut, when I bet, I didn't say that it was the mountain, as long as I lost a mountain to him, I was looking forward to him seeing the expression of the saltpeter mountain now."

The housekeeper learned from their conversation that Li Lizhen made a bet with someone and lost to the other party a mountain, but he didn't want to fulfill the gambling contract, so he came to buy saltpeter mountain.

Give the other party an almost bare mountain, even if you lose the bet, you won't be sad, and you can even see the other person's disbelief or angry expression, why not?

Through the other party's words and his own brain supplement, the housekeeper no longer doubts Li Li's motive for buying the mountain.

It didn't take long for the subordinate who went to find Cui Zhi to come back.

The housekeeper immediately pulled his subordinates outside, and said in a deep voice, "The young master didn't come?" ”

"I didn't come, but the young master has an explanation, Saltpeter Mountain sells at least 100,000 yuan, and it won't sell anything less. The young master also said that even if some trees could not be planted in Saltpeter Mountain, it could not be sold cheaply. The servant whispered.

The butler said, "I know, you go down first." ”

"Yes."

The butler watched the figure of the departing servant, his eyes kept rolling, and soon his eyes lit up, and the man turned back to the reception hall.

"Two sons, I'm sorry, my young master can't rush back because of something, but he has entrusted me with full authority to deal with the affairs of Saltpeter Mountain."

"Okay, you quote a price, as long as the price is right, I'll buy it today. If not, we haven't been here. Li Lizhi directly gave the housekeeper two answers.

The price is right, I bought it today, if it is not suitable, just because I didn't come and will not come again.

The housekeeper, who originally wanted to quote a high price, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Li Gongzi, what you ask for in business is a sky-high asking price, and you can pay back the money on the spot." I really haven't done your hammer-nailed deal.

Why don't you make a price, I think it's feasible, and Saltpeter Mountain will buy it for you. I think it's too low, you can add a little money, as long as you feel you can afford it, our deal can still be done. ”

Without waiting for Li Liqing to answer, Yan Shuyi said, "Yes, but hurry up, we have wasted a lot of time here." ”

"Then please bid."

"One hundred thousand." Yan Shuyi said.

The housekeeper frowned slightly and said, "This is too little." 150,000, plus 50,000, I'll get the title deed now. ”

"120,000, 120,000 at most. I have investigated, in fact, you have paid the price of 80,000 yuan before, and no one cares about it, I paid 100,000 yuan is considered to be high, and now I don't want to delay time, I am adding 20,000, 120,000, sell, you will give me the title deed, if you don't sell it, we will leave now. Yan Shuyi said very domineeringly.

Li Lizhi took Yan Shuyi's hand, afraid that she would not be able to buy saltpeter mountain if she passed.

Yan Shuyi pinched Li Lizhen's hand and reassured her that she was still good at doing business.

The housekeeper saw all these in his eyes, and wanted to raise the price again, but he didn't dare, he could hear the aggressiveness in Yan Shuyi's words.

If you don't agree, the other party will really leave, this is the best opportunity to get rid of saltpeter mountain, and he can't let it go.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise, 120,000 will be 120,000." I'm going to get the title deed now. ”

"Okay, let's go get the money ready."

After the two sides negotiated, they went to prepare, and the money and goods were still clear.

Li Lizhen and Yan Shuyi were very fast, 120,000 copper coins, and they were ready in less than half an hour.

The ox carts went directly to Cui's house, and the scene was very spectacular, which attracted the attention of the people on the road.

This makes many people know that the Cui family has made another big deal and envy the Cui family.

After the money and goods of both sides were cleared, Yan Shuyi and Li Lizhi breathed a sigh of relief, great, the task was completed.

On the way back, Li Lizhi patted her chest and said, "I almost thought we wouldn't be able to buy saltpeter mountain." ”

"How is it possible, with me, how can I not succeed, you can be a princess, you still have to rely on me to do business."

"By the way, how do you know that the Cui family sold saltpeter mountain for 80,000 yuan?" Li Li asked.

Yan Shuyi said with a smile: "Of course I inquired in advance, after you told me about this matter yesterday, I asked people to inquire, who knows that this matter can be inquired about casually."

This incident was rumored, and no one knew about it at the time, and Cui's was laughed at for several years. ”

"You are still the most powerful, I will say, Wen has you, Wu has Li Wan, and the backer has me, the three of us will definitely be able to set up a women's army." Li Lizhi once again stated her great ideals.

"You're right, but now we should go to Li Feng first." Yan Shuyi said that he wanted to confirm whether the other party was the person who made his connection.

Li Li asked: "You're right. ”

Suddenly, a lot of paper floated down from the sky, and Li Lizhi took a piece of paper casually and looked at it.

"He did it."

Yan Shuyi also caught the paper casually, and asked while looking at it, "Who did it?" ”

"Li Feng." Li Li asked, "He did something to Cui's family, and the content on this paper was written by him." ”

"So much? He wrote it all by himself, how long did it take? Yan Shuyi was taken aback.

"Pretty much." Li Lizhi said vaguely.

Yan Shuyi did not doubt him, and began to admire Li Feng, writing so much by himself, he can be regarded as a person with perseverance.

"Shuyi, we won't go to Taiping Village today."

"Why?"

"These papers are here, then he must be in Chang'an, and we may not see him even if we go to Taiping Village."

"What you said makes sense, let's go, let's go back to the spice shop."

……

Divine Dragon Temple.

The small pilgrimage meeting officially began, and officials above the sixth rank participated.

After all the tedious ceremonies, the ministers began to report on their work.

After the summary meeting, Li Er began to say: "Ladies and gentlemen, the weather is hot, is the ice cube in your home enough?" If it's not enough, just ask. ”

Wei Zheng stood up and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, the minister knows that there is not much ice left in the palace."

At this time, when he took out the ice cubes, he must have asked the people to buy them, this matter is too wasteful of money, and the minister thinks that it is better to use this money for disaster relief, and asks His Majesty to think twice. ”
